      Before fix, Kibana had a fixed 24h OAuth cookie expiration time, which resulted in 401 errors in Kibana whenever the accessTokenInactivityTimeout was set to a value lower than 24h. After the fix, Kibana's OAuth cookie expiration time is synchronized to the accessTokenInactivityTimeout, with a default of 24h in case the latter is not defined.

      Description of problem:

      Following error intermittingly when logging in to Kibana:-
      
      {"statusCode":401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Authentication Exception"}
      
      It started when the duration of the oauth session has been changed to 10 mins (enforced by a Red Hat compliance operator remediation as per CIS guidelines):

      - We can not increase the accessTokenInactivityTimeout to more due to compliance check.

      How reproducible:

       

      The sequence of events is (see attached mp4):

      Log onto the OCP UI Select logging - this prompts for another oauth log in After a period of inactivity, kibana reports as being unauthorized If you then log onto the OCP UI and select LOGGING it returns the 401 unauthorized error - if you look at the cookies there is one named _oauth_proxy for the kibana-openshift-logging.apps.<cluster> domain - if you delete this cookie and refresh you a prompted to log in as per step 2.

       

      Actual results: The presence of the _oauth_proxy cookie is causing the problem and we must delete it manually lo log in back.

       

      Expected results:

      Not having login issues.
